In the first stage of Project Gaucho, 3 GW of electrolysers will be powered by a 4.2 GW wind farm, leading to the production of up to 1.7 million tons of ammonia per year. RP Global and German development agency GIZ will develop the project, supported by an official German government program for ramping up the nascent hydrogen industry.
UAE-Moroccan developer Dahamco is planning a $25 billion, multi-million ton per year renewable ammonia project at the Port of Dhakla on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The first phase will feature an investment of $4 billion and produce nearly one million tons of ammonia per year.
Qatar Energy has laid the foundation stone of its new 1.2 million tons per year ammonia project in Mesaieed Industrial City, south of the capital Doha on the Persian Gulf coast.
The Western Green Energy Hub will proceed to the official environmental approvals stage after receiving the green light from state authorities. FID for the first stage of the project is due in 2029.
We explore Namibia’s vision of a sprawling hydrogen ecosystem. The country plans to leverage its competitive wind and solar energy potential and strategic coastal location to produce electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia for the global market. We also highlight some of the key projects and partnerships already underway, and some key bottlenecks that must be overcome.
EDF Group has joined Abraxas Power to jointly develop the Exploits Valley Renewable Energy hydrogen and ammonia project in central Newfoundland, Canada. The equity partners aim to reach FID in 2026.
Both have announced partnerships and production projects aimed at the decarbonisation of steel production. Utilizing a similar approach from their large-scale ammonia projects, the pair will develop hubs in Mauritania and Brazil, producing hot-briquetted iron for export to Europe.
Meet Woodside Energy to explore the new Beaumont Clean Ammonia Project. Located on the US Gulf Coast, phase one will have the capacity to produce 1.1 million tons per year of ammonia, utilizing gas feedstock. Lower-carbon ammonia production will start in 2026, when Linde will supply hydrogen feedstock to the facility with ExxonMobil to offtake the carbon dioxide associated with Linde’s hydrogen production for transportation and permanent sequestration.
In our October episode of Project Features, Hyphen Hydrogen Energy outlined its multi-phase, mega-scale renewable ammonia project set to be the first step in Namibia’s green industrialization pathway. Learn about current timelines and future expansion scope for the 2 million tons per year project, and how the physical infrastructure footprint has been carefully minimized to allow for its siting in the Tsau Khaeb national park.
Meet Hyphen Hydrogen Energy, a renewable ammonia developer focused on production projects in Namibia. Hyphen’s current focus is a project featuring up to 2 million tons of ammonia each year near Port Lüderitz on Namibia’s southwest coast. Hyphen has already secured multiple offtake contracts, and will supply European customers using Chane’s Port of Rotterdam import infrastructure.
